aller marine manufacturers with fewer SKUs often struggle to find distributors, or their distributors want to order product online. They're also challenged with limited retail opportunities. With Online Computing's MasterTools™, the enterprise-level software suite, companies of any size can provide a B2B and B2C online ordering and fulfillment solution on a single platform. Its E-Commerce module delivers the avenue for rapid business expansion, while the comprehensive system streamlines an entire operation.

The beauty of MasterTools is its integration. Every component of a business is powerfully interconnected through one of 26 modules—project and supply chain management, manufacturing, service and repair, and e-commerce. Gone are the days of a variety of disparate software systems that don't communicate with one another. With MasterTools, a single action updates the entire system in real time.

For example, when a consumer places a web-based order, the web application automatically adds it in MasterTools, placing it in the make to order production or shipment picking queues. Open order quantities are updated and the purchase is either placed on account or credit card funds are authorized. After production and/or picked, invoices are created, stock levels updated and the credit card is charged.

MasterTools' robust E-Commerce module is easily linked to an existing website. It's built on a flexible template, so it's highly customizable to match corporate branding and marketing collateral. It also configures to support sales strategies through the system's intuitive administrative interface, such as providing volume discounts, allowing specified shipping methods and sending email notification of E-Commerce activity.

From a consumer's perspective, the online experience is a seamless, secure process that thoroughly meets all expectations, from browsing to fulfillment. Advanced functionality, such as submitting an order as a request for a quote, is built into the E-Commerce module as well. For returning users, purchase history, past orders and invoices are available in a customer account section, making reordering fast and easy.

Since 1969, Online Computing has provided companies the tools they need to work smarter, more efficient and produce greater profits. Its MasterTools application is widely used in the marine manufacturing sector.
